Long Weekend
:: Posted by Bryan @ 9/01/2006 01:29:00 AM Quick links for the busy vacationers:
-It's the last Long Weekend of the Summer and Gareth Lind's Weltzchmerz is relaxing at the cottage and thinking about how we got here (and how 55 percent of our U.S. cousins think we got here).
Lind's blog also features a look at an unsuccessfully syndicated strip that he abandoned and is now cannibalizing for gags. An interesting look at the creative process.
-At bloggasm, Toronto cartoonist and illustrator Patricia Storms is interviewed. You probably have seen Storms illos in various magazines but my favourite piece by her is a comic strip about comic-ophile writers Jonathan Lethem and Michael Chabon. Storms also has a blog called BookLust which chronicles her reading habits and showcases her art.
-Chris Nolan has made a delightful little map of the Toronto comic book shops participating in "The Great Toronto Comic Book Contest."
New Books:
1. The Daily Cartoonist has the low-down on Lynn Johnston's upcoming collection, "She's Turning Into One of Them", due out soon.
2. Toronto animator Blair Kitchen has just released The Possum #1, a self-published humourous adventure/superhero parody comic, from his own Possum Press. The book is available from the website, from Silver Snail in Toronto, and from the author himself at this weekend's FanExpo, which many people are boycotting because of Hobbystar's business practices.Labels: links, Ontario, Toronto
